Catherine Britt - Drive In Movie lyrics

The phone broke the silence

Like the screamin' of a siren

And I just sat beside it

Took another drag on my cigarette

Swore I'd never smoke again

And I watched it ring.

Well I knew that it was you

Callin' just to prove that

You were strong as you could be

And you could get along without me

Anytime

And anyway

So I just stare through the doorscreen

And I'd watch the cars come down the pike

Their lights against the sky

Like a drive-in movie

On a country road

That I've seen before

Never like the first time.

Blue lights on the dashboard

Songs on the radio

And how were you to ever know

How much I loved you so

You thought that I

Was only dreaming.

What a surprise it must have been

To realise I was one of them

Not a king but just a man

Not an angel hardly a friend

And not someone

You could believe in

And out across the rugged hills

The dust blows and the wind wails

Sunbleached skulls and empty shells

Broken men with tales to tell

And I would be

One of them.

And how were you to ever know

How far it was gonna go

You fall in love and that's the road

You travel till you can't no more

And then you just

Well you turn around again.

CHORUS
